    How's the head gasket on the 1zz?

    Easy job, or not so much? I'm thinking about just doing that to get the car running again...still burns oil, though. I imagine doing rings would be a serious headache, especially without a real garage..

    LOL! should be fun because you get to pull the timing chain and head

    doing rings is a pain... you have to pull the head then remove the oil pan & sump. you then get to pull the connecting rod bolts

    The Doc suggested that I just swap the motor...now I have to decide if I want to drop in a 1zz, or scrounge a 2zz from somewhere..

    actually every time when you blow a head gasket:D

    if you got the cash for a 2zz implant do it and call your local wreck yard or junk yard for wreck celica gts,matrix/corolla xrs.
